Photojournalist Tim Hetherington fatally wounded in Libya

Today, it was reported that photographer Tim Hetherington died in Libya. I had measured his work with a passive glance. He was always bold in his choice of assignments. Unfortunately, today it is reported that he has passed away.

May Tim Hetherington rest in peace.

 

 

 

This photo taken in Afghanistan shows Tim Hetherington's eye for journaling the everday in war-torn regions.

Something to keep you entertained for your pre-party

A side project by Diplo, the peace sign king and producer kid with DJ Switch.

Daggering - which is what they're doing in the video, a form of simulated sex on the dance floor  - is a dance craze in Jamaica, that effectively led to countrywide public media censorship by the government agency Jamaica Broadcast Commision, that cast a wide net. Sexually explicit songs (even cleaned up versions), and songs glorifying violence, rape, murder or arson were all banned from the airwaves. All because of some dry humping on the dance floor. Wow.

And you've got to admit, this video is hilarious.

JBC, you be smokin' da bad ganja.

See you at Hole in the Wall tonight. And please, keep your daggering at home. ;)

St. Croix is characterized by its cultural diversity and is the largest of the three islands, lying entirely in the Caribbean Sea. Pastel buildings and charming shops can be seen in the historic towns of Christiansted and Frederiksted, while the island’s emerald waters, powdery sands and rolling green hillside remain just as Columbus first found them in 1493.
